Background. The prevalence of vesicoureteral reflux in normal children has been estimated
to be 0.4% to 1.8%. Based on epidemiological data, it can be estimated that 2.2% of girls …

Technetium 99m-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scintigraphy has emerged as the imaging
agent of choice for the detection and evaluation of acute pyelonephritis and renal cortical …

OBJECTIVES. To evaluate the role of primary vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) in increasing the
frequency and severity of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and renal parenchymal damage …

The well-known association between vesicoureteral reflux and urinary tract infection is the
basis for pathophysiological and therapeutic implications which have dominated the …

OBJECTIVE. Pediatric patients with urinary tract infection (UTI) undergo imaging tests to
detect vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) in the belief that VUR correlates to risk of renal scarring …

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is common in young children and may cause pyelonephritis and
renal scarring. Long-term complications from renal scarring are low. The role of imaging is to …

children with acute pyelonephritis. The purposes of this study were to assess the ability of …

This article reviews the literature with respect to various risk factors for permanent renal
damage in children with urinary tract infection. Vesico‐ureteric reflux is an important risk …

During a 2 year period, 175 children below 6 years of age (median 0.4 year) with non‐
obstructive symptomatic urinary tract infection were studied by 99mTc dimercaptosuccinic …

Background There is considerable interest in detecting vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) because
